y Sensational Story of Tweny Five Years
ago Revived.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. Is Tie G;Obe-Dem-
ocTat prints a sensational story shout the
blood successor OF Joseph Smith of the
Mormon church, that has all the marks
Of romance, out lacks confirmation.
About twenty-five years ago the littl~
town of Nauvoo, ILL.,, headquarters of
the Mormon church of the Mississippi
Valley, was startled by story in which
Joseph Smith in 1912 ii ured as the lover
Of dashing English maiden of wealthy
family who believed in Mormonism and
who were travelling in America.
The prophet wished to take the
girl as his spiritual wife" and she
consented on condition that il she bore a
son ne should become the head of the
Mormon church. child was born, and
for fear of foul play from the other chill
dren Of the family the mother and child
fastened to England and there she edu-
.ted the Child in Chamber University,
proper credentials hnvlrg been given to
secure all rights. The story is now being
repuOlished by LeBarron Huntington, a
man of note in the Mormon church at
Salt Lake City. Utah, for the purpose, it
Is thought, of injuring the prospects OF
the ambitious Smith of the present
day, and perhaps with the inten-
ton Of sprirging the central figure
OF the story who would now be 10 years
old, before the church as claimant to the
head. Dr.. G. W. Hall aud Mr Crawford
clsim TO be the only ones who know the
origin of the story and they pronounce il
myth. 1t is reported that the story Wa:
concocted twenty-five years ego in DR.
HslIs office to his knowledge, but not by
| him. He claims to have ample evidence
in his possession to prove that the whole
thing is myth.

Mauch Chunk and their Umpire Beaten.

The Mauch Chunk " crack nine" re-
ceiyed probably its worst defeat of the sea-
SON at the hands of the Lehighton Club on
the latter's ground, and had it not been for
two passed balls by Brinkman and the
shameful decisions of the umpire, some OF
which were very original, they would have
scored nothing but goose eggs" The
visitors came down with the intention of
giving our team points on the national
game, but were sent home with point
ers." They were the most unclvilized lot
of players that ever crossed bats with our
nine, and had they cut up their freaks in
many town as they did here, they would
have been sent home with sore heads.
The game was closely contested in the
first five innings, but after that the Lehigh-
touians had things their own way, and in
the seventh inning the visitors got ratified
and let their opponents score nine runs.
The features of the game were the effective
pitching by Reichard, the good support of
Brinkman behind the bat, the daring base
running of the home team, difficult Ay
catches by Spoonheimer, Gardner and f.
Nusbaum, good fielding by Cullen and Ed.
Nusbaum, and several double plays by the
Mauch Chunkers. The score

Much grain and hay was destroyed by
the wet weather during the past three
weeks. Many of our farmers had all their
grain standing In shocks IN the fields and
all this was destroyed.
While putting in hay last week Charles
Roth's horses became frightened at a loud
peal of thunder and ran away, but were
caught before any damcge was done. A
horse hitched to hay rake and tied to the
fence broke the shaft of the rake and tore
the harness all to pieces.
In going home, on Sunday morning
from the dance at McDaniers some bows
tore down part of the fence around Squire

by their fathers and a stout hickory whip.

TAFFY.

correspondent asks: fWhat is 'taffy?"
Is il possible, that there is person living,
who dosen'i know what taffy is? When a
politician wants Office he takes the stump
and tells the people how Intelligent they
are, and how proud he will be to represent
such an enlightened constituency on the
floor of Congress. That is lalfy. When a
lecturer winds up atedious discourse with
an eXtravcgant puff Of town and its peo-
pie. assuring them that he has rarely adj
dressed an assembly, on whose countenance
intelligence had so indelbly set its marks
and that it viii be the proudest day of his
life when lie can return and again appear
before them, 1t is taffy that he is giving
them. When an editor heads an article,
ITO ourfriends and patrons" you may be
sure that taffy will flow as rapidly as pen
can travel. But when we say that the
Davis Sewing Machine leads all others in
point of simplicity that is fact. When we
say this machine is the llghtest running,
that is fact. When we say that no other
machine can do one-half the variety of work
without basting, that, also, is fact.
